Re: [Bug 295934] Re: [GME965] missing characters in Google Earth with DRI enabled
It's not necessary to upgrade from an iso. You can just change the references in /etc/apt/sources.list from hardy to jaunty, do apt-get update, then apt-get dist-upgrade. Aside from my Dell hanging up for a couple of minutes when kernel nfs drivers are loaded (I subsequently disabled them), Jaunty seems to work fine for me. -Original Message- From: ImChipBrown Reply-to: Bug 295934 <295...@bugs.launchpad.net> To: a...@sailor.nu Subject: [Bug 295934] Re: [GME965] missing characters in Google Earth with DRI enabled Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2008 00:30:57 - OK.

[Bug 295934] Re: [GME965] missing characters in Google Earth with DRI enabled
My Dell Latitude 610 was as close to perfect as I could get it under Ubuntu 8.04. The upgrade to 8.10 broke the graphics (most of the cool screensavers, GoogleEarth, LBreakout2). It screwed up VirtualBox: cursor freezes when I start a Virtual Windows XP session and remains onscreen, VitualBox's cursor takes over and is OK, on exit "real cursor" still frozen. It's a USB attached mouse, so I can unplug and replug it and it lives again. Luckily, I have a Linux and XP partition. I can boot into Windows XP and run GoogleEarth in all it's magnificence, so I know my hardware is just fine. It's the (expletive deleted) change in something - what, I don't know - that made Ubuntu 8.10 a huge step backwards. I'm totally frustrated. I've tried all suggestions. I've tried the xserver-configure thing and it starts by asking about Frame buffers. IT NEVER ASKS which driver I would prefer. Other->OpenGL does nothing. Other->Screens and Graphics asks for a password. Then does nothing. I've got a ton of xorg.conf.you-name-it files. I've screwed around in /boot/config-2.6.27-10-generic. I've "lived" in Ubuntu for about a year. I love much about it; enough to make a few sacrifices. But that damn "other" partition is starting to whisper "Come back to the dark side". >From the threads I've read, this is a very old and unresolved problem with embedded Intel graphics chips. I'm thinking there are a ton of Dell laptop owners that have never seen how great their hardware can actually run. And a few of us that actually got it running somehow for a blessed while, and have been brought crashing back to earth. I need a new idea to keep me going.

[Bug 295934] Re: [GME965] missing characters in Google Earth with DRI enabled
This will be next to useless info, but I had GoogleEarth working perfectly with my Dell Latitude D610 (i915GM video) under Ubuntu 8.04. I updated to Ubuntu 8.10, and it broke GoogleEarth (same disappearing font issue). Street names are OK, but status info, city names are screwed. Also, I use the Lattice Screensaver. If it kicks in, then I kick back out, GoogleEarth has large, random squares of black where satellite images used to be. They will appear and disappear as you zoom in and out. The compass become unusable. I can't describe it other than to think that layers of graphics are somehow being corrupted? I've also seen strange things happening in lBreakout2. Random pauses (did this under Ubuntu 8.04 as well), but also the "Status bricks" on the right side of the screen become "pinstriped". Synaptic Update manager has some new Intel Video updates yesterday, along with 20-30 other changes. I updated everything without reading the descriptions, hoping that all would be cured.
